his substitute

On the day when the news came, Chi Yu was taking medicine in the dormitory.

There was not much medicinal wine left in the dark brown glass bottle, and the ankle injury was almost healed.

But the medicine bottle slipped from Chi Yu's trembling hands before Wen Yun came back to check it. The strong fragrance of the medicine permeated the tidy and clean dormitory, which was not spacious, making people's eyes hurt.

On the way to the war zone hospital together with the squadron leader, Chi Yu was shaking as if he was seriously ill, dripping with cold sweat, soaking all his camouflage, staring straight ahead, his pale lips parted slightly, colliding with each other from time to time, low He prayed loudly and firmly: "Survive, survive, please!"

The squadron leader also had blood-red eyes, with veins popping out of his forearm, and shouted hoarsely at the driver: "Drive faster!"

Outside the operating room, several blood-stained team members sat on the ground and wept softly.Standing at the elevator exit, Chi Yu listened to their cries, looked at the dazzling light at the end of the corridor, and suddenly felt an ice needle pierced from the top of the sky, piercing him in half and firmly nailing him to the ground.

He couldn't breathe, he was so stiff that he couldn't move, only his eyelashes were trembling, tears came out of his eyes, and he cried, but he couldn't make a sound.

The squadron leader no longer cared about him, strode forward, grabbed a team member by the shoulder and shouted, "Where are they?"

"Liang Han is gone." The paint on the team member's face was covered with sweat and blood. He looked horrifying, but his voice was so helpless and painful.

He raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the operating room, his whole arm was trembling violently, "Just, just came out of there, the doctor said, said..."

Uncoordinated sobs replaced unspoken words, and he covered the upper half of his face, almost fainting from crying.The squadron leader suppressed his tears and pulled him into his arms, trying to say something comforting, but when Fang opened his mouth, he let out a sob.

Chi Yu moved to the front of the operating room step by step, and said softly, "Where is Wen Yun? Is Wen Yun in there?"

Is Wen Yun still alive?

Still the same as Liang Han...

He shook his head frantically, trying to get the desperate thought out of his mind.

"Yes." A team member in relatively good spirits came over, his voice unspeakably tired, "Yes, Wen Yun is here..."

As he spoke, he still choked up, "Wen Yun will survive, he will...Liang Han has already left, he can no longer..."

No one spoke anymore, and no one left. There was only suppressed crying outside the operating room.Time passed very slowly, and Chi Yu waited helplessly for the operating room door to open again, afraid to see those two doors open.

Finally, when the night faded and the sky turned a nearly transparent purple, the door opened.The squadron leader rushed up first and grabbed the doctor's arm in a gaffe.Chi Yu couldn't hear what they were talking about, the sound of the storm was in his ears and in his head, his eyes were glued to the hospital bed that was carefully pushed out, he didn't dare to ask, he didn't dare to think.

Wen Yun was sent to the intensive care unit. Although he didn't die in the operating room like Liang Han, his condition was very bad.

Massive blood loss, severe brain damage, damage to organs... Every injury is a fatal injury.

But he has not yet swallowed his last breath, still fighting with death.

Everyone who was with him knew that he wanted to survive.

Chi Yu stayed outside the intensive care unit day and night, and it was useless to persuade him.The teammates knew that they were like siblings, Wen Yun even put his arms around his shoulders many times, and joked with others: "This is my brother, whoever provokes him, I will beat him up." The teammates booed: "Where did you come from, an orphan?" Brother!" He wasn't angry either: "What's wrong with the orphan? Orphans just don't have parents, who stipulates that orphans can't have younger brothers? We are so similar, it's hard to say that we shouldn't be brothers!"

In the face of life and death, all comforts are feeble and insignificant.

This operation was to go to the border to deal with foreign drug lord gangs. It was relatively smooth at the beginning. The drug trafficker who had entered the southern border was captured and a large amount of drugs and weapons were confiscated. However, the undercover agent Liang Han who sent back the key information disappeared.

Jagged undercover, narrowly escaped death.All the undercover agents had put their life and death aside when they were sent out, but their comrades in arms, without exception, hoped that they would come back alive.

Even if there is only the slimmest hope.

Wen Yun is the person in charge of the front line. When he got the news from the drug dealer that "Liang Han may still be alive and was taken out of the country by other people", he acted decisively and crossed the border with Shen Ming, the most experienced commando in the team, to rescue overnight.

The person was rescued.

People are sacrificed.

Wen Yun and Shen Ming tried their best, but the result was that their comrades in arms breathed their last breath in their homeland.But Shen Ming was seriously injured, and Wen Yun's life and death were unpredictable.

No one asked whether it was worth it or not, not even Chi Yu.

During the days waiting for Wen Yun to wake up, the only thing Chi Yu thought about was - why did I get hurt at this time?

The squadron leader sat with him outside the intensive care unit and tried to explain: "Don't blame yourself too much, you are a sniper."

So even if you are not injured, even if you go with him, when Liang Han is rescued, will your brother take you there?What he needs is a commando.

There is no solution to the problem, but Chi Yu stubbornly believes that if he is here, he will definitely follow Wen Yun, never leave, and bear all the injuries for him.

A month later, Wen Yun woke up, but the doctor shook his head slightly.

He didn't really wake up, it was just like returning to the light.

When the team members went to see him, his eyes were dull, and he didn't recognize anyone. When he looked at Chi Yu, his lips moved weakly, and he said in a breathless voice, "Chi, Yu. Chi, Yu."

Everyone was crying, but Chi Yu stood by the bed like a statue, not a single tear fell.

Grief is condensed in the heart, if you cry again, what will fall will be tears of blood.

Only he knows why Wen Yun called his name.

Wen Yun doesn't remember anyone, but he is the only one who remembers.

The words of those years lingered in my ears——

"But what you said reminded me."

"Ok?"

"I have to remember your name firmly, otherwise what will you do if you cry from sadness?"

Wen Yun did remember it, but left the deeper pain to the person whose name was remembered.

Chi Yu stared at him intently, as if wanting to burn his already out-of-shape appearance into his mind and remember it forever.

That night, Wen Yun passed away peacefully after struggling with the pain for more than 30 days.

Wen Yun has no relatives, and the ashes and relics are temporarily kept in the brigade.After the memorial ceremony, Chi Yu seemed to be a different person. He began to train desperately and set out missions, hardly allowing himself to rest.

His teammates thought he was trying to forget his sadness by being busy, and occasionally reminded him to "pay attention to his body". Later, seeing that he was full of energy all day long, he stopped mentioning it.

It wasn't until 3 months later that he suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma after completing the task, and his whole body fell down like a collapsed green hill, and everyone knew where he was full of energy.

He was consuming himself, his body had been depleted by drugs and toil.

According to the test results, he started injecting anti-fatigue and stimulating drugs shortly after Wen Yun left. Later, the dosage increased, and now it has caused serious harm to his body.

He looks like he's been beaten all the time.

It was only now that his teammates understood that he had overdosed himself regardless of the consequences.

The squadron leader blamed himself extremely, wishing he hadn't noticed his abnormality earlier, and eagerly asked the doctor how to treat him and what were the sequelae.

The doctor sighed, "His current physical condition is no longer suitable for the duties of a special soldier. Generally speaking, the damage to the body caused by the drugs he uses is reversible, but not absolute, and needs to be recuperated slowly. Now he has heart and lung problems, maybe It is also accompanied by sexual dysfunction, so I can no longer perform missions..."

Chi Yu woke up on the hospital bed, and when he realized that he was still alive, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

God is really unfair, Wen Yun wanted to live so much, but finally stopped breathing, and he didn't want to live, but he couldn't die.

The squadron leader knocked on the door and chatted with him a lot about him, about Wen Yun, and about changing jobs.

Chi Yu was silent for a long time, "That's fine, I once swore that if Wen Yun didn't retire, I wouldn't. Now he's gone..."

He stopped, took a deep breath, "I should leave too."

The squadron leader was heartbroken, "Just tell me if you have any requirements, even if you are not on the team, you will always be my soldiers."

After being discharged from the hospital, Chi Yu returned to the team and formally submitted an application for retirement.

"Captain." He looked at the squadron leader seriously, "I have a request."

"This?" The squadron leader stood up in shock after hearing this, "How can this work? There is no such precedent in the team!"

"Yes." Chi Yu said calmly, "Yes, I know."

He had already taken off his camouflage and was wearing a regular army uniform. His eyes were calm and he was not angry at all, "Captain, you said that if you have any requirements, please let me know. This is not too much for me. The team used to There are also players who retire and live with a new identity, and I am not the first."

"But you are not a new identity!" The squadron leader said: "You want to live as Wen Yun!"

"He has passed away." Chi Yu said flatly, "And he has no relatives. The situation is special. I will live as him and it will not affect other people."

"you!"

"Captain, please promise me."

"Then what about your family? Wen Yun has no relatives, but you do!"

Chi Yu shook her head, "In their eyes, I have long been a stranger. Whether the stranger is dead or alive, what does it matter? 'Chi Yu' died, and they will accept it."

The squadron leader frowned, "No, this is too..."

"Captain." Chi Yu said: "Wen Yun and I once made a joke, he said he would remember my name. You see, he still remembered my name until he left. That day he was in the ward and called How many times 'Chi Yu'?"

The squadron leader was silent, his eyes burning again.

"It's enough for him to remember me." Chi Yu smiled lightly, "But what about him, how many people will remember him in the future? For a lifetime?"

The squadron leader said: "I will never forget my team members."

Chi Yu shook her head: "Not enough, really not enough. A person who is not around will eventually be forgotten, and time can calm down all thoughts."

He paused, "But I don't want to do this. In the last mission, I couldn't be by his side, I couldn't save him, I couldn't bring him back to life, but at least, I want to keep his name."

The office was surprisingly quiet. After a long time, the squadron leader said, "Let me think about it. I am not the only one who has the final say on this matter."

On the day of leaving the team, the dust settled.

Chi Yu took one last look at the camp gate of the Special Forces Brigade, and turned around resolutely.

Since then, he has a new identity.

His name is Wen Yun.

Chi Yu, on the other hand, had already died in a mission involving secrets.

He came to Zhongcheng, the city where Wen Yun lived before joining the army, and found the "grandfather" who had no blood relationship with Wen Yun, and took good care of him.

Wen Yun often mentioned this old man, saying that when he was a child, he cared a lot for himself who had no relatives and no reason.

The old man was in poor health, suffering from Alzheimer's disease, and was blind. He couldn't recognize who was with him, but he never called "Wen Yun" once.

Chi Yu thought, maybe the old man knew it very well.

Once settled, he took a job as a reporter at the Midtown Times.It was the heyday of the paper media back then, and it was not difficult to recruit soldiers and horses.

Wen Yun wanted to be a reporter, so he did what Wen Yun wanted.

He is not expected to be a reporter. He suffered a lot in the early days, but he never thought of leaving.

In this strange city, no one doubted his identity, and the special brigade did a perfect job of changing his identity. The only person who knew his past identity was a psychology professor named "Zhou Chenzhong".

Professor Zhou was entrusted by the squadron leader to solve his psychological problems.

But a patient who does not wish to be cured is almost hopeless.

In his first year in Zhongcheng, he played the role of Wen Yun, but he knew in his heart that he was Chi Yu.Over time, he indulged in it and occasionally forgot his true identity.

This actually brought him an indescribable joy.

Wen Yun has never loved Chi Yu - this is his deepest regret.

But now, he seems to be able to make up for this regret.

He is Wen Yun, and he loves Chi Yu deeply.

Consciousness and logic gradually became confused in his imagination, and he spent more and more time forgetting himself. Many times, he believed that he was Wen Yun.

Professor Zhou noticed his problem very early, and talked to him many times when he was sober, but he said: "This is very good. This way... I think I can live a good life."

A person who is terminally ill is more relaxed and happy than when he was not sick, and he is more like a normal person. Professor Zhou sighed and agreed with him to come for a check-up once a year. If he wants to receive treatment, he must contact him immediately.

During the 8 long years, Chi Yu completely turned herself into Wen Yun.He lived in the dream he had woven, in which it was Chi Yu who died, and Wen Yun was living well with the longing for Chi Yu and the agarwood beads sent by Chi Yu.

The time to remember who you are is getting less and less. In the past few years, only when you suddenly wake up at night will you be pulled back to the bleak reality.

A person like him cannot be provoked or exposed suddenly, so after learning about his situation, Professor Zhou never took the initiative to contact him during the day. He only contacted Professor Zhou when he woke up at night and needed help.

But the false peaceful years were shattered by the sudden intrusion of Xun Musheng. He stretched out his hand, but he couldn't grab the last branch on the cliff.
